you will need a support just above the lower UJ, or it will flop all over the place,i used a rose joint

why are you doing it like that? clearance?
ps your steering wheels on the wrong side

 very funny...
anyway, i made it out of the parts i currently have and it seems good enough or probably a better choice rather than weld both ends together.
i was also thinking about what the SVA manual says about the upper and lower sections being offset in case of collision.. and this looks ok... so a
rosejoint huh? can i just make a bracket out of steel sheet, drill a hole in it, weld it and pass the tube through it?
many thanks!

Example
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

The Tiger Avon has the same arrangement as you and uses a Rose joint to support the lower section of the column, immediately below the lower UJ. The
Rose joint is mounted on a chassis bracket.
A post in the Tiger section should get you some pics to look at.
^^^^^^ like that^^^^^

It was a joke about the one at the top.
All looks good to me - just needs a spherical bearing between the bottom two UJ's - just like the Avon.
